I do not think that Nike had anything to do with this, I think Lebron was the one who built this team to be fair. And aside from Embiid, who is clearly not American and not like "oh he is black" type of racist thing, dude spent most of his life in another nation and was born there, if you are born on a nation but you have parents who were born in another, then I support you being on a team for a nation that you are born in, but this dude wasn't even born here.
Aside from him, they brought in some of the big guns and I am sure that they are going to do very well. I do not think that anyone will get even close to them, this isn't some ok players team, this is the stars and nobody has any players that is even close to this level.
Based on his bio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Embiidhe is an "Cameroonian / French / American" So he could play with either of these three national teams,  ... But he chose America, so I think there's no problem with that. In our national team, there's even one naturalized citizen who's a foreigner, but since it's allowed, that's fine. I think we are talking too much about Brown's complaint. It's time to rest that and give Team USA peace of mind and wish them the best. Yeah its individual choice on where they want to play. But unfortunately there are fans that doesn't like the decision of Embiid to play in US since some of them like to see him wearing Cameroons uniform. But their want didn't happen since he decide to join USA. Maybe they should respect the decision of Embiid since he can choose to play wherever he want. They are just taking everything so heavy and got angry when their expectation didn't happen. Brown issue is not done yet and for sure there would be a lot more discussion to come. But if brown decide to stop and focus on other things maybe with thay we can see that this issue will fade out naturally. Both issues still hot since the Olympics is not done yet and same follows, these topic will die naturally once the new NBA season starts as fans will start cheering with their favorite teams and stars, let's focus with how team US will perform and see if they can dominate the olympics with the current squad that they've got. With those EU teams who also have decent quality players, it's a challenge against this newly formed US squad. |

AFAIK, CStand will go to Magnolia after this trade with Terra Firma.
Good plan if that's going to happen. No worries for them, as C. Stand will just go to their sister team, which will likely win a championship with C. Stand on the team since it's full of veterans, and they just need someone who can dominate the paint. I guess there's really a big plan behind that trade; it seems like C. Stand will not just end up with this farm team, Terrafirma. Clever move. Possible if Al francis Chua will work on it, but as of this moment we can't tell if there's a plan for him to be trade again, both Him and Pringle needs to keep those numbers if they want to stay, I mean after being traded to a farm team most of the time the player start to decrease the value of his game or start to think leaving the league and play either overseas or to another league that will give him to showcase his talents. Not sure what happened but I was in the impression that he will stay as Japeth might be in his retiring stage, we really can't say what players fate when trades take place. |

Yun talaga ang masakit. Kaya nga siguro naglabas na ng sama ng loob si Brown dahil dyan at inakusahan na ang Nike na syang nasa likod nito kung bakit wala sya sa rotation ng team USA. Napaka saklap talaga ng nangyari sa kanya dahil lahat ng achievements na nakamit nya at mga paghihirap ay parang nabaliwala lang.
Siguro may ma impluwensyang tao talaga ang pumipigil no dahil napaka irrelevant naman talaga kung bakit wala sya sa line up habang sya ang MVP ngayong season. Although malakas din namang addition si White sa team USA pero sa nangyari mapapa isip ka nalang talaga kung bakit ganun ang pasya ng namamalakad sa kanilang pambansang koponan.
ikumpara mo naman kay Brown parang sampal naman ata yun kasi nauna na si Jrue at Tatum tapos gaya nga ng sinabi mo FMVP at ECMVP pa tapos mas kukuhain pa yung isa sa role player ng team, pero kahit ano pa man ung nangyari wala na syang magagawa para lang ding si Isiah Thomas lang yan hanggang ngayon hindi makamove on kung bakit wala sya sa line up ng Dream team which achievements wise alam naman natin ang nagawa ng 80's badboys and nung time ng dream team prime pa sya nun. |

Losing money in trading is a normal thing but how well are you managing your losses and how many wins do you have ? How many wins do you need to cover your loses? These are some important questions that traders need to ask. No trader will escape losing money neither as a newbie or a pro but these are also good points you have highlighted.
Indeed, even how good you are in analysing the movement there's still chance that you'll going to lose your position same with your statement both newcomers and those experienced traders they are not safe from losing their money, though is a good observation regarding to how both will react after losing, for experienced traders, they will continue looking for opportunity and will re-assess what made them wrong and why they lose their position. While with newcomer, due to lack of knowledge either they quit away or will push forward and aggressively position another trade without researching and most of the time their fate will again repeatedly making mistakes and lose more. Newbies quitting because of losing is a terrible thing because it's such a shame that they do not realize how they can get better and get a better result. This is why I think it's much better to keep on thinking you will do a lot better all the time, always keep trusting that. I am not saying all of them will, there will be people that will do very badly even if they try because trading isn't for everyone, but at the same time we need to talk about the fact that we are going to see a lot of them get better and make profit, so it is not going to be that easy. So all in all, if we keep focusing on how to get better, it is going to be better, but if we quit just because we lost a bit, then we are never going to become good at all, it is not going to be entertaining. You'll never succeed if you don't have that desire to learn more, if by a single mistake and losing money is the only basis to quit then trading will not going to work for you, there are lots of experience losses that may take place as the market always have it's own up and down, it's you that needs to adjust and adopt if you want to succeed. There are failures which mostly cause of wrong decision making and wrong assessment and analysis but you can use those mistakes by learning from it and not to allow yourself repeating the same patterns. |

Indeed things are like that, when one assumes the blame for his mistakes in the casino he learns, that is a fact, therefore every time he plays he has to assume that the money he puts in is willing to lose, that there is no need to get excited about winning or something like that because things do not work that way, there will always be things that fail, and the most important thing in a casino every time you bet, we must consider that money lost and concentrate on winning and Having fun, if everything fails it is already something normal, one should no longer regret but learn , the more we lose we must reflect, for me it is the fastest and most effective way to learn.
Because of this same reason that is why a gambler should risk what he can afford to lose, and again any money that has been used for gamble shouldn't been seen as the one that will bring the winning, no matter were the money is coming from, even if it's a fortune teller that gives the money to the gambler, the gambler should consider that money as lost funds but it buy luck the money was able to bring success then the gambler should also know that it is his lucky day. That's right, that means eliminating all thoughts that lead to the idea of "doubling", this is gambling where the risk of losing can occur at any time which means that instead of winning, what happens is that you end up losing all the money you brought. So of course one of the reasons why gamblers are always advised to bring a small amount that they can afford to lose is because the fear is that when it turns out they lose, it is very possible for them to get emotional and stressed. Establish and maintain a good understanding of the fact in gambling that winning is not determined by a gambler regardless of whatever method they use. In the end, winning will always depend on how lucky you are during the session. And how patience you are waiting for the right timing, it's indeed that wrong perceptions that you can quickly double your money in gambling mostly the reason why there are more addicted gamblers around, most of them lose control because of lack of knowledge about the possible situation that they might encounter while inside gambling, thinking that luck will always show up and will bring them to satisfied their desire to win. |

Resources are not infinite, but our desires are infinite. We all want to earn more money. We all want to live in more comfortable conditions. We all want to secure our future. I think that if we had the means of a boss who destroys nature to make more money, we would do what he does. Sometimes I completely lose hope in people and myself. I think that if we have this power, maybe we can turn into them...
The countries that pollute the world the most are the superpowers. Even the way to become a superpower is to pollute the world, unfortunately. Check them out: China, USA.
Sad true as people continue to want more when they already have some, I mean like what you said if you have that capability to make more money when you already have that resources you might push your way and do that same thing, in a rare cases you might think about the abuse but in the money you'll do the same as you wanted to continue that flowing money inside your pocket. We can't conclude things as we don't know what wealth will bring us when we have that kind of opportunities. |

Chasing after loss is a big mistake most gamblers make, and it's the easiest way to get addicted. Once a gambler start chasing after loses, he definitely not get satisfied with the result he is having, even if he is on the wining side, on that round of gambling.
If someone is on the winning side, what they normally do is allow their greed and overconfidence to control them, which is what leads them to lose what they have already won from the casino. It's when they finally lose everything or when they deduct their balance from what has been lost, and the loss is higher. That's when most gamblers always start chasing their losses, and the more they try to recover what they have lost, the more they are going to increase the amount. That's why the best thing to do when you find yourself in such a situation is to take a break for that day. Yes, and sometimes it's uncontrollable. There's this mindset when a gambler wins high multipliers and that is he might repeat the same thing again which is why he will keep on spinning until he finds himself in the position where he lost all the profits he made. I won't blame them because I have been in the same position and still happening to me up until now. This is the kind of mistake that greedy gamblers will normally make because they want the bigger prize and they won't stop until they reach it. And the kind of thinking that it's portion of their winnings that they are using to keep playing but along the way they just realized that they already losing everything, I think it's happening even with experienced gamblers who's been driven but the situation and wanted to earn bigger than what they've already got. It's a human greed that inside us we can't control that when we think that luck is on our side, we keep pushing forward and try to win more. |

Well, all investments have its certain risks. If you are not knowledgeable enough, you will certainly fall on its risks and may find it hard to succeed on your chosen investment. However, if you know your investment well and you are taking calculated risk, then the chances of generating profits later on is highly possible. But I suggest when you see your investments working already, don't just stop there and limit yourself, but also diversify your investments by putting your money in different basket, not just on a single basket as the risk to lose is obviously high.
The basic key is actually knowledge because all investments have different characteristics and different risks. So to get passive income we have to have extra knowledge, don't just focus on one investment but make all investments a field for looking for passive income. The more sources of income, the closer we are to achieving financial freedom. The point is if you want to be financially successful, if you don't want to be poor. stop saving in the bank and always develop skills in the investment sector. Develop a side job so you can invest in bitcoin, gold and property because these three investments have the potential for us to get passive income. Yes, placing money in just one basket has a very high risk, if it fails then we lose everything. Which is most of the time the mistake that such investors commits when placing their investments, you need to workwith more knowledge about any investment that you wanted place you money, that's logic when you put everything in one investment and things didn't work out accordingly, you'll lose it all unlike if you segregate your investment there's money that will be passive if you just let it grow. Just need to have the right sets of knowledge that gives you better idea and overview if how things or how the market will allow you to earn. |

You do not even need to make your own mistakes to learn from them, if you see a person that is addicted to gambling, you do not have to experience the same as them to learn to not allow yourself to reach that point, and this is very important as mistakes are quite costly, so people should do an effort to try to learn this way as this is way more efficient, but in my experience this rarely happens and most people have to experience things on their own in order to learn from them.
Indeed, if you have that opportunity or if you are not addicted yet then better to use that other experienced as basis to avoid doing that same mistake, gambler needs to understand that there's no need to go deep like them as the price for making such mistake is something that will cost you a lot to the point that you may lose everything that you have Best to take that experience as your learning pattern and if you think or see yourself being prone doing that same thing it's better to have that hard stop and not to push forward. The moment we fall into addiction, the more possibility of committing mistakes and the harder to avoid them. Therefore, it is not just necessary to stay responsible but also, a need to consistently control our emotions because this is a huge factor that may and will affect badly our gambling journey putting us at higher risk and possible addiction. Of course, we can't be perfect but at least, we are doing something not really cost a lot. While getting into the desire of gambling, it is very important to seek some advice as well from experienced gamblers. Having a simple tip helps us a lot not in handling ourselves especially when are at loss. Having that conversation can give us hints where to stop our self in getting too much engage into gambling, it's not easy though as it's against your own will and most of the time addiction take place when there's no more control with your time and money that you are spending inside gambling. There's always a need to make sure that you are monitoring your own actions, the more you engage the better understanding that should be developing inside you. It helps a lot to minimize your losses and to avoid or prevent you from getting addicted having bigger problem in the long run. |

This Olympic team will of course win it, but I guarantee you that it will be harder than they think, hell I may even say that they may fail to do it as well, we really don't know what's going to happen. We should realize that things aren't as easy as it looks, and we could potentially see them do something different, maybe it is going to be harder.
I think the best way to go about this situation would be just realize that they could just calm down and play slower, because if they want to play faster, most of these players are old, and they will not catch up with other teams, but if they slow it down, they are more talented than all others and they can get better results. Lets see what Kerr will do with this team.
In terms of individual talents yes I agree with your statement that they are more talented compared to whoever opponents that they'll going to face but speed wise younger players with that determination to win might give them a hard time, it's not an easy competition as internationally those squads are also composed of talented athletes who deserve playing and representing thier flags. Let see if what adjustments and what other playing system will coach Kerr use for team US. |

Funny this is, after he was announced the winner, he wear this t-shirt. https://x.com/Gametimeguru1/status/1809809127553507706I don't think that Shakur though could win against Loma even if Loma is old. Shakur might be too technical, but Loma has fought a lot of fighters in his resume that tends to be tactical, but they say No Mas to him. It will be Loma vs Tank first and so Shakur will have to wait if the winner is willing to face him because his style is boring. Shakur is the very definition of being all bark and no bite. He may act tough on social media but when he is inside of the ring, he couldn’t even hurt a fly. He is not entitled to a Loma fight. Now that he is a free agent, Top Rank has no obligation to match him against one of their most marketable and exciting fighters. From a business perspective it is better for Loma to fight Tank. Promoters will only pursue a match if they are seeing good money out of it. And since he is a free agent now, hard for him to push thru the fight he wants. Unless, boxing fans are calling for it and they see a huge demand for the fight. Otherwise, he needs a very good convincing power from the boxing world to get a very good fight. Indeed, he needs that push to gain the attention else, since that he doesn't have any good back up then there's nothing for him, seeing him fighting brings boredom for those live viewers, unless there's a big call from another good opponents that he will accept and the fans will react greatly, anyway he can use the influence of social media to create noise for his name, let see if how him and his camp will find that good money making fight that he'll earn a lot. |

But anyways this is so good development since we could see now that Philippines basketball program is now doing so well and also the players are gaining fame on international scene especially Brownlee who got a lot of recognition which provably could help to get a better more career on basketball.
Very big development in just a short time, it seems like magic when Tim Cone assumed the job. He flipped the fate of the team. Now, we are in the top 3 in the FIBA Asia ranking, and I can see that we will just keep improving over time. Brownlee sacrificed a lot to get us to where we are now. Hopefully, in the future, he will be joined by our brothers in the NBA, like Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Green. That would be awesome, as our pure-blooded Filipinos will gain more confidence and will surely get better as well. As far as the rule's concern having both Green, Clarkson and Brownlee won't going to work, just one of them in case both Green and Clarkson will show their interest but I guess that two NBA stars will not be fit with how CTC developed his program, unlike with JBL where playing all around , Green and Clarkson are playing with the ball. But yeah, if by chance the rule change and both Green and Clarkson will play for our flag that power ranking might continue or who knows we might reach the top. I think it's easy to make them adapt to the style of CTC. What's important here is the NBA talent they have, as they would never be in the NBA if they weren't good. I can't imagine seeing both on the team; that would easily put our team in the top 10 in the worldwide ranking. But like you mentioned, it's the rules that don't allow them to join, so even if they are eager, it will still be unlikely to happen. I think we need to develop a full-blooded Filipino to be an NBA player so out team will mprove more. The only one I can see now is Kai Sotto. I'm not sure why he didn't apply for the draft this year. Yeah right, if we can develop a full blooded NBA star then we don't need to worry about the rules, though like you mentioned Kai is the one who's got that potential but he didn't apply though we don't know what his future plans but for sure he will not stop trying it, with how he impacted the OQT games I guess without any major injuries that will take place he can develop more on his talent, just need to work harder and build more muscles.. hehehe but kidding aside hopefully he'll be able to bring our flag as the first full blooded pinoy in the NBA. |

Nag-withdraw si Kawhi sa lineup ng Team USA para sa Olympics kaya apat na player na ng Celtics ang maglalaro para sa Team USA. Pumalit kay Kawhi si Derrick White. Ang mga Celtics players na maglalaro sa Team USA ay sina Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown at Jrue Holiday. So, parang NBA Champion vs Your Country ito. Lol.
Kaya habang may oras pa at may odds pa ang Team USA sa outright, taya na tayo. Palagay ko, walang tatalo sa Team USA this Paris Olympics Basketball.
Parang insulto nga yung nangyari kay Brown, FMVP plus yung ring pero imbis na maging priority as replacement White yung napili medyo bias ang magiging opinion ko pero sobrang dami na kasing offensive gunner kaya sa tingin ko mas pinili yun 2-way player pero talent wise syempre para sa kin mas mataas ang grado ko para kay Brown, akala ko nga si Kyrie pa yung ipapalit pero base dun sa mga nababasa ko si White talaga yung ipapalit. Nakakatawa yung mga commento ng mga meme sa social media para lang daw nagpasabay ng uniform si Kawhai tapos sabay backout nun nakuha na ung uniform nya. hahaha. |

In addition, some inexperienced gamblers lose and drop game after first failure, and move to other game, lose there and continue moving from game to game, loosing all budget, instead of learning game rules. I would add this to a list of mistakes - leaving game after first loose, without understanding why they have lost and how game works. Even if gambler lose first time, I would give a game a second and maybe third try, to become more experienced in it.
If you have that kind of money management I will follow that as well, much better to learn from those previous mistakes and use that experienced when playing again, not easy as a beginner seeing your money continue losing but if you are keen to detail you may adjust and hopefully luck will find his way to back you up. The only problem in my opinion is when you keep repeating making that same mistakes and you got addicted instead of learning about the game and adjust to minimize the possible losses that you can make. |

Anyhow, good win by the US team, they are going to travel to Dubai if I'm not mistaken for another set of exhibition match.
Probably Canada is the second favorite behind USA to win the Gold.
Not France? France is said to be the winner for this entire Olympics.  With all of these exhibition matches before the actual, most of them are going all out. I know that they know the drill to avoid further injuries but I don't wish anyone of them to be on that situation just because with all of these exhibition matches. It's getting more excited as qualifying teams are now doing their best to represent their countries, I like the challenges being called by those super teams from EU and now Team USA brings their own versions of a super team, working with chemistries and as far the result of that game against Canada I guess they got something and will established that sparks from each other. France is really a good contender basing from their performance though Canada is also composed of competitive players, we'll see who's going to be the finalist too early to conclude. |

What if some never have the opportunity of getting their money doubled first and they have continued with gambling and keep doing it all because they wanted to chase after loss, it's not all about doing this consistently, but we have to understand the luck that comes along with how we gamble, if we didn't get our money doubled, then we have to realized that things are not expected to work the same way with how we gamble from the way others do, the kind of game we are playing also will be what can determine the outcome to what we see.
That is it because some of the game are so hard in a way winning could be too hard to double ones money and at times of doubling the money one could keep losing making them to chase after losing that is why it's good to play a normal game where if he wins then he goes with his money and not regularly keep gambling to double their money. This methods has gradually turns lots of people into addiction because they were trying to restore back what they had lost as same time having that mindset to increase their winning amount and leave. People that gamble in order to double their money will undoubtedly become addicted and suffer the consequences. That is why you should just bet game when you have money to risk so that even if you lose, he will not affect you because if you are using money that is important to you on gambling, you will be praying for double money and when you lose, you will be looking for another money to play or borrowing money to play to get double, and that is how you will be addicted, so don't play gambling for double the money you stake, because trying to bet for double will make you lose easily because by adding other Gambling is other games make you lose fast. Gambling is just a funny game that will be making you feel good when betting your club that you are supporting. That's how addiction start inside you, when you already aiming for more and you are not willing to stop when you lose your initial bankroll eventually your adrenalive and your appetite increases, it's better to do it like what you mentioned, use the money that you are willing to let go and just hope that you win if not then stop and exit without looking back or aiming to recover the amount that you lose, better way to enjoy and better way to practice to avoid getting addicted. |

How about the rumor that the New York Knicks is pursuing Karl Anthony Towns from the Wolves? Do they think that KAT is a perfect fit for them that Julius Randle? I know that Julius is injured, but still I think the did good in terms of the numbers against the current champion Boston Celtics. Just imagine if he is healthy in their playoff run, it could be a very different outcome and for sure they will go day in day out to fight and try to win with Randle. And with that, there's a lot of rumors about them getting KAT. And in terms of leadership, I think he will still be the man in New York, but they have a lot of options now with Brunson putting up a numbers for a small guy in the Knicks uniform.
Though KAT is not consistent but if he and Randle will be healthy playing together with Brunson and the rest of the squad they will create a competitive lineup. I like the idea of bringing them together though it's not an easy task for the coaching staff knowing that all those 3 stars are more on handling the ball or more on wanting the ball. Not sure if Timverwolves will let KAT go as they got a good campaign last season beating the defending champ, though knowing that rumor sometimes happened, let see what will be the update about it. |

but the problem we might be facing a big challenge everytime we gamble which can have a huge effects on us if we are not always careful on how we go about things and our entire gambling activities. Discipline can help us stay away from addiction that could crumble out life if we are not that careful.
Sometimes things can be very different if we see them from the point of view that we need to generate results, but to avoid this, I apply something very simple, if I play today and yesterday I played and lost, that is something that I should have already overcome, that is, when I play I should not think about recovering what I lost, it should not be like that because each game session is different, it is not something that has to be conditioned, that is why we must have that way of restarting ourselves so that when the time comes to play again the game we did does not affect us, play without pressure and without any kind of stress. Yeah right, we should have that kind of thinking where we can't push forward as the outcome mostly turned agaisnt us, instead we should be more careful and patience using our time and money when we are dealing inside gambling, as a small mistake can lead us to suffer and with that there's a chance of bringing that aggression and adrenaline rush to recover back whatever we lose. Something that very common to those gamblers who lose their patience and start to be more aggressive aiming to win back those money that they can't afford to lose. |
